Be interesting to know what the residents of the other street think about 'non-resident' parking outside their houses. Bet this lady would moan if someone from another street parked outside her house.
It's a bit more than a few hundred metres...
And BTW I've never used Alliance Street... Didn't even know where it was until the other week, when you started moaning about it being 'your' street.
I bet the residents of Holmcroft road just love you as you inconsiderately speed down their road & over the speed bumps so you can get from one end of Alliance Street to the other via Holmcroft Road in 3minutes. Of course, there isn't as many parked cars along that route. Most of the residents have the common sense to park on their drives.

I wouldn't bank on it .
Most can't be arsed and the rest couldn't park in the drive even if it was the size of a football pitch.

We have 2 neighbours who both have the largest driveways in the road, which could easily fit 5 cars on. They remain empty whilst they block the road up with their cars and vans parked along the road instead. Just can't see the logic in it! Makes it difficult for others to get out of their driveways , and more of a breath holding journey down the road in ice and snow with only inches to spare to hopefully avoid skidding into them. An old couple by us had to call an ambulance , which had to a park further up the road as it couldn't park outside their house with all the other neighbours cars left there. Had to carry the man on a stretcher quite a way along the pavement to get him in the ambulance

I don't see the logic. I would use the drive for added security, less chance of getting pranged/keyed, cheaper insurance, closer to front door so easier carrying the wife's shopping in the house. the list goes on

I drove down/up Alliance street today, just because I can, and because every bugger and his neighbour are still driving up and down the Doxey road.
You watch, that'll be the next thing, the goverment will have us paying a toll to drive on individual roads. Oh look! They do! It's called Road Tax!

Can you drive on Streets as well?

I'd rather drive on the pavement, such fun! You should see everyone scatter! x

Ireland does have this sign -
- although they are yellow now, in line with most other warning signs.
Unlike a UK play street, motor traffic is not excluded, but there would generally be a 30kph limit and a presumption of negligence if you did hit one.
I saw several today, on fairly major roads -
Street View example here.
I believe that @ATJ may have modelled for the original artwork.

I've heard a couple of people say this morning that Eccleshall Road will be open next week (Stone Road will be shut). Is this correct?

Thanks for this recommendation. I'll definitely use Alliance Street as the road only carries advisory yellow signs advising there is no through route, as already discussed earlier in this thread. I reckon drivers entering the roundabout from Stone Road will experience a hard time next week as drivers enter uncompromised from Eccleshall Road. Alliance Street will be perfect.
